And here I thought I couldn't dislike Fanta anymore than I already do.According to @John_Fanta, UConn assistant Luke Murray (Bill Murray's son) plans on following Dan Hurley to the Lakers if he doesn't get the UConn HC job

I mean, lets be honest - you guys are exceptionally myopic here. Maybe its a joke, maybe its not, but the fact is, there are a lot more places "Nebraska and Mississippi" than there are like LA or NYC. And not everyone that finds the "con" side of the ledger for living in a city longer than the "pro" side have envy or small peter issues.I was just talking about this with a consultant who was here this week in Essex at our place but lives and works in San Diego. Very different places obviously, and he was very excited to explore this area and liked it a lot. We were talking about places we lived over our years (I'm in my mid 50's he is slightly older) and I have lived in CA and he was asking me which I liked better. I told him (and this is the truth) that I have no preference, that I have found value in everywhere I have ever been. The trick is being comfortable with yourself and knowing yourself. Every place has something that can be celebrated and taken advantage of. Me personally, I am very into experiencing the unique differences of the places I have been and go, and I derive enjoyment out of learning what they are and how I relate to them. Obviously I have found that there are places that "fit" me better than others. But that is a personal thing on who I am more than a judgement on what an inanimate geographical location isn't . Right? And as I change places that "fit" me better change too. Crazy, right?
- "wherever you go there you are" indeed.
Of course, Carroll had two stints as an NFL head coach BEFORE he even went to USC.I can’t think of any college coach improving their legacy in the pros outside of Pete Carroll. At least not in my lifetime
Who can forget(no matter how hard you try) his stint with the Jets!Of course, Carroll had two stints as an NFL head coach BEFORE he even went to USC.
Again, you would think people ( UConn fans) have the measure of our coach here, that is a positive for him! He can be the guy who succeeded where others couldn’t.
That doesn’t mean he goes, but he LOVES that kind of stuff. His engine runs on “ you can’t”
so you and your Hurley outlets say he's gone, correct? Ouch, hope you are wrong.This is my 2 cents, and keep in mind that I am often hilariously wrong.
The last 32 hours from everything Im seeing from press members that are known to be Hurley "outlets" seem to be coyly preparing us for the horror.
I don't like being manipulated or glad-handed.
I'm a big boy (literally and figuratively) I like to take my bad medicine in one disgusting gulp and not string it out.
Winning in the NBA is a big enough challenge. There are 30 teams, all with NBA talent. There aren't high majors and mid majors and low majors. Winning a title is a gigantic accomplishment no matter which team you coach.
I don't think the drama and roster construction in LA are positives. I think the excitement of coaching a premier franchise at the highest level of the sport is what's intriguing to him.
Funny, I talked to a buddy about that today. Plenty of NBA jobs within a drive from Jersey.Colin Cowherd
@ColinCowherd
I’m Dan Hurley — wife is from New Jersey. Wait until the Knicks job opens. It will. It’s the NBA.
No one, least of all me, is saying that. Im just feeling like we are being prepared for it.so you and your Hurley outlets say he's gone, correct? Ouch, hope you are wrong.
It’s an easy solution: Kimani or Luke. I’d easily trust either to take the reigns and both deserve it.If we’ve learned nothing we’ve learned that we need a DH succession plan. Even if he returns. It won’t be for long. It’ll probably be used against him in recruiting too.
I dont forget that.Who can forget(no matter how hard you try) his stint with the Jets!
There will never ever be a good time for the 2x national championship coach to leave, but this obsession with Alex as an inflection point baffles me. So if Alex had gone pro (which he would have if it was his best option) then DH leaving now would somehow be fine?The time is not 2-weeks after your most reliable player in Hurleys coaching career decides to forgo the NBA to return to play for his coach one last time.
That needs to be made known. Sort of how Coach K did with Scheyer. It helps with recruitingIt’s an easy solution: Kimani or Luke. I’d easily trust either to take the reins and both deserve it.
Is the bar, Ham? So he is going to be great and turnaround teh Lakers beucase he is better than Ham as the bar?I don’t think I am overrating free agent pickups at all. They can change a franchise. Jalen Brunson has worked out okay for the Knicks.
Do you think Dan Hurley will be a better NBA coach than Darvin Ham? If you don’t that’s ok but I think most do.
I think you missed an “h” your postIf DH leaves LA without an agreement...DB should be sitting in the Gov's office with Hurley's agent and a blank check
When Kinani filled in for a tossed Hurley he beat Villanova. When Luke Coached against Seton Hall I believe we blew a lead and lost.Kimani graduated college 98, so he is at most 50. A little young to be "resigned" to be a 2, but who knows. Wondering what his relationship with Luke is like.
I wonder if Luke is truly a 1 either. Seems a tad mellow, maybe the analytic side makes him seem that way.
